I met a traveller from an antique land,

Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

So, for the last two weeks I've been reading on the articles talking about the meaning behind this Ozymandias by Shelley. Actually, re-reading them because I have a one-year-stored draft talking about this that I have to finish it and publish it here on my blog. Yeah.. One year and 3 months, I'm not sure. 

I have to read them again to check my knowledge about this poem, and to make sure that I understand what I will publish on my blog. I know this poem from my lecturer and we talked about it once. Re-reading Ozymandias makes me remember to the vibes I got on the first time reading it. 

Anyway, since I will be talking about this poem, compared with Viva La Vida by Coldplay, my bedroom have been the concert stage of me, singing Viva La Vida for the last two weeks. 

What a wonderful weeks. :'D

I enjoyed them, for sure~

Still working on the writing but I am so excited about this! yas!
